Craig Bernthal

This week on Valley Writers Read, we hear a story by local author Craig Bernthal titled "Route 18." Through no fault of her own, Linda, a troubled teenager, is thrown into the middle of a really difficult divorce. By law, she's required to reside with each of her separated parents for two weeks at a time. She desperately tries to escape her agonizing confinement by traveling down an imaginary highway – the one she calls "Route 18."
